Hullo everyone On the IGI, Batch No: P002281, which, according to Hugh Wallis' website is St Peters. Monkwearmouth, is the following: MARY ANN JACKSON BLENKINSOP Female Event(s): Birth: 02 SEP 1833 Monkwearmouth, Durham, England Christening: Parents: Father: WILLIAM BLENKINSOP Mother: MARY This film holds recordes from 1683 to 1853, but no christening is recorded for the above entry. Another search on the IGI: Batch No: I02199 (begins with a capital "I" for "it" not a number one) records: Mary Ann Jackson Blenkinsop Female Event(s): Birth: Christening: 12 AUG 1836 Monk-Wearmouth, , Durham, England Parents: Father: Will'm Blenkinsop Mother: Maria Blenkinsop This time, just the christening, no birth details. There is no Source Information details except for the batch no. and Type; film. The first entry above (birth) has Mary's name in full capitals, which indicates to me that this is a filmed copy of the original parish record. With the second entry, Mary's name is in lower case, except for the initial capital, which indicates to me that it is a submitted entry (usually!!) however in this case the film appears to have christenings for the period 1833 to 1838 from Monkwearmouth. Can someone explain this please? Would the second batch be an extraction from the original records because these records are missing from the first film mentioned above?? Would the original parish or church records of the above two entries have any more information (addresses, witnesses) than what is recorded above? Thank you Marg Smith Mardi, NSW Australia

Hi Marg The capital I (for igloo) is for a late input to the IGI and are definitely from extraction programs, at least the one I enquired about was. They seem to have started about two years ago when I discovered a new entry for my g.g.g.grandparents marriage in Lambeth 1807, I queried the coding with the LDS who said that it was from extractions recently entered on the IGI. They are too new to be on Hughs site. I would be inclined to contact the LDS to confirm the above. (by the way the batch you mention is I021999 there are three 9's) You ask if there is any extra information in the PR? possibly but the only way to find out is check the PR.

Hi Everyone, I have just had an email from my friend Kath who transcribes the Evening Chronicle death notices to say she has completed another year (1905) and to ask when would I like them, obviously I said as soon as possible. As it is her work you see online it occurs to me if anyone has found the index helpful to their family history and would like to send Kath a message I would be very pleased to pass them on to her. I do know it makes sitting transcribing for three or four hours at a time all the more worthwhile when you know the index is useful to people. Margaret.
